ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[SD-001-0003b and SD-001-0004b; FRL-6351-9]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; South Dakota; Control of Landfill Gas 
Emissions From Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the South Dakota plan and regulations 
for controlling landfill gas emissions from existing municipal solid 
waste (MSW) landfills. South Dakota submitted its original plan to EPA 
on May 2, 1997 and then submitted revisions to the plan on May 6, 1999. 
South Dakota submitted this plan to meet section 111(d) of the Clean 
Air Act (Act) and EPA's Emission Guidelines for existing MSW landfills 
at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
we approve the State's submittals as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipate no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the preamble of the direct final rule. If no adverse 
comments are submitted, we will not take further action on this 
proposed rule. If we receive adverse comments, we will publish a timely 
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and it will 
not take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent 
final rule based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second 
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting 
must do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing on or before July 6, 1999.

ADDRESSES: You should mail your written comments to Richard R. Long, 
Director, Air and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P-AR, Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA), Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, 
Denver, Colorado 80202. Copies of the documents relevant to this 
proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the Air and Radiation Program, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver,

proposed rule are available for public inspection at the Department of
